+# Understanding Turnstile
+
+Turnstile is a system for developing typed DSLs using macros in [Racket](https://racket-lang.org), and was introduced in the paper *Type Systems as Macros*. [<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_1">1</a>] It's a fascinating idea, but the paper is a little difficult to follow. This repository implements the basics of a type system with macros using straight-forward Racket, and takes up only 68 lines in a single file. (`stlc.rkt`)
+
+I have a write-up about this [on my blog](https://lambdaland.org/posts/2023-08-14_types_with_macros/), which I recommend reading if you're new to this.
